Why don't we just take the debt crisis, and PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?

When I saw this week's prompt, my heart just sank. If there is one thing that shoots clear over my head, its economics. But I'll give it my best shot.

Quite honestly, some of the most reasonable solutions I can come up with include:

1. The idea to tax the wealthy.
2. All members of Congress and the Senate take a pay cut for a few years.
3. Not to mention the billions of dollars our government spends on air, water, and roadways. If everyone who owned a vehicle that had an impact on the environment purchased some sticker or special license (renewed every year for approximately $20) it would most certainly take us our of our deficit.
4. Employing people for public works projects, such as building and restoring bridges.
5. Promote businesses in the U.S. by establishing a program that supports U.S. companies with U.S. employees. We need to create more jobs.
6. Establish a PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE MEDICAL CARE SYSTEM. NOT a national health care system.
7. We could even go as far as legalizing marijuana and taxing the heck out of it.

These are the most simplified ideas I could come up with. I honestly do not have the knowledge base to provide much further justification.
